Electrical code questions

I'm attempting to put together an irrigation system for some plant's I had installed last year.
The components are as follows: 2) 1/2", 110V. Asco solenoid valves, rated water tight, 2) WT J-boxes, with electrical light swithces, and obviously sealtight fittings, 1) Intermatic digital timer, 1)15A Square D breaker, 14/2 UF-B wire, 14/2 NM-B wire.
The solenoids, and j-boxes will be outside, the Intermatic timer will be located in the crawl space beneath the house. Running the 14/2 UF-B from the coils, through the switches, into the timer. From the timer to the CB with 14/2 NM-B
So, this raises some questions:
1. Do I need a GFI breaker?
2. Can I run NM-B from the timer to the breaker? The timer will be in a dry location
And if there's anything I may have forgotten about, please point it out.
Thanks

I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

Of course code specifics vary everywhere, but as far as GFCI goes...the idea is that anyplace you can put your body in contact with ground, that you need the protection of sensing current going to ground someplace other than through the circuit. So I'd think GFI would be an automatic for an outside feed like that.
CJA so called science type proudly says... "I do realize that I would fool myself all the time, about listening conclusions and many other observations, if I did listen before buying. That’s why I don’t, I bought all of my current gear based on technical parameters alone, such as specs and measurements."
More amazing Internet Science Pink Panther wisdom..."My DAC has since been upgraded from Mark Levinson to Topping." -
10-4. That's what I figured, just wanted a confirmation.
